Because beef broth is used in this flavorful mushroom sauce rather than pan drippings, it may be prepared ahead of time. For a nice, silky texture, only add arrowroot just before serving.

Yield: | 1 9×5-inch loaf |
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe papayas
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups white sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup guava juice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Slice papayas in half lengthwise. Scoop out black seeds and discard. Peel and discard skin. Place flesh in a bowl and mash. Transfer to a strainer and allow to sit for 10 minutes to drain any liquid.
- Combine flour, poppy seeds, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Cream sugar and butter together in a separate bowl. Mix in eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Mix in papaya flesh, buttermilk, guava juice, and vanilla. Slowly stir in dry ingredients until just moistened. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then release loaf from the pan onto a wire rack. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes, before slicing.

Reviews
Great flavor but I could not get it to set up correctly. It would not bake through. Very mushy inside at recommended cooking time. I let it cook 15 minutes more, still mushy inside. I think next time I make this I will use the recipe as a filling for a crunch. The way It turned out will make a good cobbler and heat it up with ice cream on top. Oh and I did not add the Guava neuter. It seemed to runny as it was. Maybe my papaya was too mushy from the start.
